62TE Transmission Filter & Gasket Kit Chrysler Dodge Ram FT1240

This is the service filter and pan gasket for the 62TE, the transverse six-speed automatic Chrysler ran behind the 3.6L and 3.5L V6 in most of its front-drive minivans and mid-size cars. It replaces OE part numbers 68018555AA, FT1240 and 58128. The 62TE is a filter that lives up inside the pan and pulls straight down off the pump pickup, so match your old unit against those numbers before you order.

Fitment covers Dodge Grand Caravan 2008-2020, Journey 2009-2019 and Avenger 2008-2014; Chrysler Town & Country 2008-2016, 200 2011-2014, Sebring 2007-2010 and Pacifica 2007-2008; and the Ram C/V 2012-2015 and ProMaster 1500/2500/3500 2014-2021. Those ProMaster vans in particular rack up hard miles and the 62TE is sensitive to dirty, overheated fluid, so a filter-and-fluid service on schedule is cheap insurance.

On the bench the job is simple but there are two spots people get wrong. First, seat the new filter until its neck seal is fully home in the pump bore — a filter that is not pushed all the way up will suck air and give you a low-pressure, slipping, or flaring complaint right after the service. Second, clean the pan magnet and the sealing surface before you lay the gasket, then torque the pan bolts evenly in a crossing pattern so the gasket does not weep. A few reviewers note the supplied gasket is thin; if you have installed a drain-plug pan or want extra margin against a leak, a rubber-and-steel reusable gasket pairs fine with this filter.

Changing the filter keeps clutch material and fine debris out of the valve body and solenoids, which on a 62TE is what protects you from the expensive failures — harsh shifts, codes, and torque-converter shudder. Ships from the USA.
